They must be since they opened an office in LA LIve next to the Starbucks.

Because I saw 4 shows in one day but it was because one was an early show in a park, then I saw a free early show at a record store, then I saw an evening show at a venue and then I went to an after hours type concert.

Do they all have to be in the evening or take place in a certain amount of time?

Dipping is done in 12 hr increments usually from 6pm-6am. 6am-6pm is considered another dip session. So depending what time that instore was u either did a back2back double or a single into a triple. Either way #keepondipping

If you think promoters aren't behind the whole scalping market, you must have missed LCD MSG fiasco...

ps The only time you should ever use stubhub is to buy tickets for under face. Anything else, you're just helping some douchebag

AEG and Stubhub have an official partnership. They even renamed the Home Depot Center the Stubhub Center. There's also a giant Stubhub Kiosk in Staples Center where you can literally buy tickets from stubhub and have them printed out of machines right there in the arena.

EDIT: also, it's more about embracing the fact that people want to be able to resell tickets to other people as opposed to "scalping." This way AEG makes money twice - the original ticket sale and they get a piece of the after market sales fees. And now that they sell all their tickets using their own ticketing site, they keep every single penny.

Re: Upcoming Shows

I think Stubhubs days are numbered. Ticketmaster/Livenation have also gotten into the mix they rolled out their own ticket resell platform on few test events couple months ago and ramping up to give you the option to resell ur tickets through them on all events in the near future. While Stub guarantees ur money back if the tixs are bogus or u dont get them. TM can guarantee their validity right off the bat because most events are still sold by them thus you'll never miss the event that you bought scalped tixs for.

AEG owns enough stadiums and arena s worldwide that i don't think this is going to affect them that much. most of the money in this is sports ticketing, you have to remember.

such is life.. that could be said regarding just about every dollar we spend. Buying value menu at McDonald's? Helping some corporate big-wig douche bag. Buying from ticketmaster itself is helping corporate ticketmaster douche bags. The only person you can really help as a consumer is yourself in my humble sometimes misled opinion. Everything helps 'the man' get richer to an extent so, I don't know, but I don't think that this is the same thing as 'don't-buy-the-baby-turtles-in-chinatown-so-they-stop-selling-illegal-turtles-there' type thing like your making it out to be.

Re: Upcoming Shows

DO NOT under any circumstances see Chance the Rapper.

1. Stupid DJ dude did the whole hyping him up thing for 10 minutes before he came on
2. Backing track the entire time that was louder than Chance's voice
3. Chance attempted to sing infrequently
4. He cut songs off in the middle so many flipping times
5. He was scheduled to play for 90 minutes--he played for 45 minutes including an encore. Though I guess this is a positive.

I saw him for free, and I wish I could get my time back, it was that terrible. I enjoy his recorded music, but his live show is cringeworthy.

CBGB's added Lisa Loeb for tomorrow's fest haha. What song did she sing again?

Lisa Loeb's big song was "Stay".

I am seeing Divine Fits at 1 pm and then will go around the corner for karaoke. I suppose I might head back for Grizzly Bear or My Morning Jacket, etc. but we'll see.
